Serves 10 (1 roll per serving)

Ingredients

Peanut Sauce

• ¼ cup natural peanut butter
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)
• 2 tsp honey
• 1–2 tbsp water

Rolls

• 10 rice paper wrappers
• 1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 1 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper
• 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
• 2 mini cucumbers, seeded and cut into matchsticks
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves

Preparation

1. To make peanut sauce, whisk together all sauce ingredients until combined. Transfer sauce to a serving bowl and set aside.
2. Fill a pie plate or wide shallow bowl with cold water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in water until wet on both sides, about 5 seconds.
3. Transfer to a clean work surface (to prevent sticking, a clean plastic cutting board works best). Rice paper wrapper will not be fully softened at this stage but will continue to soften fully as you assemble the roll.
4. Place 3 basil leaves on bottom ⅓ of wrapper. Layer with about 1 tbsp of peppers, carrots and cucumbers and 2 tbsp cabbage. Sprinkle with 2 tsp green onions. Transfer to a serving platter and cover with a clean damp tea towel while assembling remaining rolls.
5. Repeat process with remaining rice paper wrappers and vegetables.
6. Serve with peanut sauce and enjoy!

Note: To make these salad rolls into a meal, try adding some cooked rice vermicelli noodles as well as a protein such as sliced tofu, cooked shrimp or leftover thinly sliced cooked pork.
